2014 C180 -COMAND FM Radio problem

[Vermilion]

Hi,
My COMAND works the sat nav OK, DAB is impossible to listen to as it continually cuts out but until this weekend, the FM was fine.
Driving home to Essex from Coventry down the M6 and M1 there were no available FM stations to listen to except for the odd one that did pop up that was invariably BBC Radio 3 or some local FM radio station.

Around Luton, there were no stations at all and the scanner went right round the dial finding nothing. On the M25, Capital became available.

I tried switching it off and then on again which had no effect. By the time we hit Essex, the only station available was a community station in Billericay, when normally, I'd have 20 or so stations to choose from.

I do this journey fairly regularly and can normally listen to Heart all the way just having to re-tune a couple of times.

Anyone else ever experienced this?

Thank you.

This 'sounds to me' like an antenna issue? If you still have warranty I would get it checked out. Alternatively you could try disconnecting the battery for 15 minutes - reconnect and re-tune the radio.

The car has a one year warranty until March. I'm not confident messing about under the bonnet so I'll be giving Mercedes a call. Thank you.
